Dear Primary Families, 

This week was truly special as we welcomed our incoming primary principal, Ms. Jess. When asked about her highlight, she shared that she wishes she didn’t have to leave, she loved her time here! We also held our virtual accreditation meeting, and we could not be more proud of our student leaders, who represented AISL with confidence and poise. Teachers, leaders, and the entire community came together, showcasing our school in a professional and passionate way. We are incredibly proud of our school community!

PROGRESS REPORT CARDS

Homeroom teachers have completed progress report cards for each student. These reports will be shared today at 3:00pm. At this time, the reports focus on Approaches to Learning Skills (ATLS). If a student received a 3 or 4, no comment is needed. However, if a student received a 1 or 2, the teacher has included a comment outlining next steps for growth. We encourage you to discuss the report with your child and to attend Parent Teacher Conferences on April 9 and 10, the week we return from break.

EAGLE DAY CONFERENCES

9 April,  7:30am - 3:40pm

10 April, 7:30am - 3:40pm

This year, Eagle Day Conferences will follow a slightly different format. Unlike previous years, students will not be participating. These conferences are designed specifically for parents to meet with their child’s teachers. It will be a valuable opportunity to discuss your child’s progress and identify next steps in their learning journey.

We hope you have booked your conference times with both your child’s homeroom teachers and specialist teachers. The conference booking schedule opened on March 17 for parents with more than one child and on March 18 for all other parents through Veracross. 

We appreciate your continued support and look forward to meeting with you during the conferences.

DEVICES

With Spring Break approaching, we highly recommend monitoring the amount of time children spend on their devices. Research suggests that excessive screen time can impact children’s sleep, attention, and emotional well-being. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no more than 1–2 hours of recreational screen time per day for school-age children and encourages balancing device use with physical activity, reading, and face-to-face interactions. Keeping screen time in check helps support healthy development and overall well-being.

Here are some activities children can do instead of screen time.

On behalf of our AISL community, we wish you and your family a Happy Spring Break!
